Great stuff. Found a real word:

  refactoring

  the systematic and systematic reworking of a piece of text to reduce unnecessary redundancies
Interesting that the made-up definition is pretty much the real one.

Got a few comments about that one and a few others! I just updated the existing word blacklist and re-deployed.

Oh, I'm surprised the "blacklist" isn't just the standard English dictionary. I'm sure I'm just being naive though. Why not just blacklist any word that already exists in English?

There are some subtleties (e.g. hyphens, derived forms, bigrams, etc.) but the biggest problem is that most English dictionaries don't have entries for every scientific word / piece of internet slang. I ended up tokenizing Wikipedia for a blacklist and still missed a lot :(
